# create token

Launching a token on Durianfun takes 3 stages and about 30 seconds.

## Before you start

You need:

* A connected wallet with at least **\~0.25 KUB** (0.1 KUB deployment cost + \~0.15 KUB gas)
* A token name and ticker (ticker = 1-10 uppercase letters/digits)
* Optional: an image (auto-cropped to 200×200 JPEG)

### Token Info

Go to [durianfun.xyz/create](https://durianfun.xyz/create).

| Field           | Example                    | Notes                             |
| --------------- | -------------------------- | --------------------------------- |
| **Token name**  | `Durian King`              | Max 50 characters                 |
| **Ticker**      | `DKING`                    | Max 10 characters, uppercase auto |
| **Description** | `The tastiest king on KUB` | Max 280 characters (optional)     |

Click **Next: add image →**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Image

Drag & drop or click to upload any image. Durianfun will:

* Auto-crop to a 1:1 square (center crop)
* Resize to 200×200 pixels
* Compress to JPEG quality 80
* Auto-rotate based on EXIF orientation (fixes mobile photos)
* Fill transparent pixels with white background

Max input: **10 MB raw file**. Final output: **\~10 KB** stored on-chain in your token contract.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Animated GIFs** are accepted but only the first frame is captured. If animation is critical, use a static image.
{% endhint %}

Alternative: paste any image URL or IPFS URI (`https://...` or `ipfs://...`) and it will be used as-is (no processing, no size limit, but depends on external hosting).

Click **Next: review →**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Review & Launch

You'll see a summary:

| Field                  | Value                               |
| ---------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| Deployment gas cost    | 0.1 KUB                             |
| Base token             | KUB                                 |
| Total supply           | 1,000,000,000                       |
| Graduation threshold   | automatic based on raised liquidity |
| Bonding curve contract | Durianfun V4.5 (Main)               |

Click **🚀 Launch Token**. Your wallet will prompt for a transaction (\~0.1-0.15 KUB total).
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## What happens on-chain

Your click triggers a single atomic transaction that:

1. Charges 0.1 KUB → sent to Durianfun treasury (anti-spam)
2. Deploys a new **BondingCurveMarket** contract unique to your token
3. Deploys a new **ERC-20 token contract** with 1 billion supply minted to the market
4. Registers your token in the factory's index
5. Emits a `TokenCreated` event — indexers pick it up immediately

You're redirected to your token's page at `/token/<address>` once confirmed (\~3 seconds on KUB Chain).

## Creator earnings explained

From the moment your token exists:

* **Every trade pays you 0.167% of the trade size, instantly, in KUB.** No staking. No claim. Direct transfer to your wallet on every buy and sell.
* When your token **graduates**, you receive an **extra 10 KUB bonus** automatically.

After graduation, the creator rebate stops (AMM fees go to treasury + pool LP only), but your token becomes permanent and tradable forever.

## Tips for a good launch

* **Ticker matters** — short, memorable, all-caps. `DKING` beats `DurianKingToken`.
* **Image matters** — memes with strong visual identity get traded more.
* **Share to your community first** — don't rely on chart watchers alone.
* **Description is your pitch** — 280 chars to sell a vibe.
